Abstract

Intracholecystic papillary neoplasm emerges as a macroscopically discernible, non invasive epithelial neoplasm configuring as mass confined to gallbladder mucosa or a tumour projection into lumen of gallbladder. Initially scripted by Adsay et al in 2012, the neoplasm is contemplated as a distinct subtype of pre invasive neoplasm of gallbladder, as per the contemporary World Health Organization (WHO) classification 2019 [1].
